How do I create a Fill-in-the-blank question?

With the Questions tab [1] selected inside a new quiz, click the New Question button [2].

Click the drop-down menu and select the Fill in the Blank question type.

To build a True/False question, you will need to add the following details:

1. Question title
2. The number of points the question is worth (quiz totals are calculated based on combined total of questions)
3. The question text (use the Rich Content Editor to include video, images, math equations, or flash activities)
4. Text for the possible answers
5. Text for the feedback bubbles under each answer (possible answers are all green) and/or at the end of the question

Currently, fill-in-the-blank answers are not case sensitive. The only way a student will get the answer incorrect is if it is left blank or the answer is misspelled. You can click Add Another Answer to add as many different versions of the correct answer as possible if you desire.

Note: If a student does not enter any of the possible answers but still submits a valid response, instructors may need to manually grade the quiz to restore points that they lost.

Click the Update Question button.

Click the Save button to save your work on your quiz.

Click the Preview button [1] if you want to verify the quiz before you publish it. When you are ready, click the Publish button [2].

This is what students see when they encounter a Fill-in-the-blank question in a quiz.

Students will see if their answer is correct as indicated by the green flag [1]. If you allow students to see the correct answers, they will see all of the potentially correct responses (if any) indicated by the gray flag [2] after submitting the quiz.

Students will see if their answer is incorrect as indicated by the red flag [1]. If you allow students to see the correct answers, they will see all of the potentially correct responses indicated by the gray flag after submitting the quiz.
